The paper is structured as follows: After the introduction and motivation, related work is presented in Section 2. Section 3 describes the basic ideas and conception of the artificial DNA.
Institutional theory views the organizational world as a construct of the ideas and conceptions of its members.
Whewell referred to this "unfolding" of ideas and conceptions as the "explication of conceptions".
Once the Ideas and conceptions are explicated, so that we understand their meanings, the necessary truths which follow from them are seen as being necessarily true.
This is important because the fundamental ideas and conceptions are provided by our minds, but they cannot be used in their innate form.
At the same time, our intention was not primarily to give a precise picture of the future, but rather to come to an understanding of the divergent ideas and conceptions driving future development, thus necessitating a longer time horizon.
Whewell drew no distinction between truths which can be idealized and those which cannot; thus, potentially, any empirical truth can be seen to be a necessary truth, once the ideas and conceptions are explicated sufficiently.
